[Intro – quiet, breathy, tense]
(soft inhale, minimal music)
Writing down my lyrics…
Hoping no one reads…
(heavy drum thud enters)
⸻
[Verse 1 – low, gritty, rhythmic]
Writing down my lyrics,
Hoping no one reads.
Leaving trails of tears
Across my memories.
Quitting every single thing —
I’m trying and trying…
But I fall.
(heartbeat drums build)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – drums rising, breathy urgency]
Making a scene
That no one saw.
Hearing my screams,
Playing my songs.
Throw it all…
DOWN.
(drum explosion, drop)
⸻
[Chorus – HUGE, Imagine Dragons power chant]
Hell, can you hear me now?
I’m the loudest I’ll ever be.
Let that flame contain me
So you can never let me breathe.
Take me out,
Lose control.
Pick a fight,
Head to toe.
Hell, can you hear me?
(choir-like backing “oh-oh-oh” optional)
⸻
[Verse 2 – darker, almost spoken, brooding]
When I get off my feet,
Taking my time.
Writing every little beat,
Watching your hands
Cooling your soul…
Tear me apart.
(drums pull back, tension builds)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – same cadence, louder build]
Making a scene
That no one saw.
Hearing my screams,
Playing my songs.
Throw it all…
DOWN.
(drop again, but heavier)
⸻
[Chorus – bigger, layered, gritty belt]
Hell, can you hear me now?
I’m the loudest I’ll ever be.
Let that flame contain me
So you can never let me breathe.
Take me out,
Lose control.
Pick a fight,
Head to toe.
Hell, can you hear me?
⸻
[Bridge – dramatic, chanting, percussion-forward]
Pick-pock…
Tick-tock…
Time is running out.
Are you gonna let them
See every part of me?
They don’t care what they see —
Pulling and tearing down my dreams.
(huge drums enter, choir echoes)
“Pulling and tearing down my dreams…”
⸻
[Final Pre-Chorus – whispered → screamed]
Making a scene…
That no one saw…
(whisper → roar)
Hearing my SCREAMS…
Playing my SONGS…
Throw it all—
DOWN!
⸻
[Final Chorus – MOST explosive, Imagine Dragons signature]
Hell, can you hear me now??
I’m the loudest I’ll ever be!
Let that flame contain me —
You can never silence me!
Take me out,
Lose control.
Pick a fight,
Head to toe.
Hell, can you hear me?
(Hell, can you hear me?)
⸻
[Outro – whispered, cinematic]
(soft breath, distant drums fading)
Hell…
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
